The Sun Child

The Sun Child

The Sun Child is born!
On wings of the Spirit,
Now come ye forlorn for the Spring shall return.
The Sun Child is born!
Come every one hear it,
Come from every corner for winter shall burn.

We are shining in the morning
Spirits ev’ry where
Do you see us in the morning?
Spirits ev’ry where
Do not fear, the ancient ones are calling,
Do not fear, the ancient ones are here.

We are whispering in the evening
Spirits ev’ry where
Do you hear us in the evening?

Do not fear, the ancient ones are calling,
Do not fear, the ancient ones are here.

We are standing right beside you
Spirits ev’ry where
Do you feel that we could guide you?
Spirits ev’ry where
Do not fear, the ancient ones are calling,
Do not fear, the ancient ones are here.

We are dancing on the water
Spirits ev’ry where
In the earth and air and fire
Spirits ev’ry where
Do not fear, the ancient ones are calling,
Do not fear, the ancient ones are here.

CIRCLES

CIRCLES                                               
                -Gwen Zak              
              (Tune: “Windmills”)      
                                       
                                       
In days gone by, when the world was much younger
Men wondered at spring, born of winter’s gold knife
Wondered at the games of the moon and the sunlight,
They saw there the Lady and Lord of all life.
                                       
CHORUS:  And around and around and around turns the good earth  
          All things must change as the seasons go by,           
          We are the children of the Lord and the Lady,         
          Whose mysteries we know but we’ll never know why.      
                                       
In all lands the people were tied with the good earth
Plowing and sowing as the seasons declared
Waiting to reap of the rich golden harvest
Knowing Her laugh in the joys that they shared.
                                       
Through Flanders and Wales and the green land of Ireland
In Kingdoms of England and Scotland and Spain
Circles grew up all along the wild coastline
And worked for the land with the sun and the rain.
                                       
Circles for healing and working the weather
Circles for knowing the moon and the sun
Circles for thanking the Lord and the Lady
Circles for dancing the dance never done
                                       
And we who reach for the stars in the heavens
Turning our eyes from the meadows and groves
Still live in the love of the Lord and the Lady
The greater the Circle the more the love grows

Full Moon Chant

Full Moon

 
The Moon’s energy is most intense when She reaches abundant fullness. Any magickal effort, especially difficult ones, can benefit greatly from the potency of this phase. Use the full Moon to amplify magickal intent and to give spellworkings additional power.
 
To seal spells performed during the full Moon, use this chant or one of your own choosing:
 
Abundant Mother, Moon so bright
Hear my plea upon this night.
Your fertile power lend this spell;
Make it potent, strong and well.

Waning Moon Chant

Waning Moon 

 
The shrinkage of the Moon from full to dark is called the waning phase, and it offers an energy suitable for recession, peaceful separation or elimination. Use the waning Moon to end undesirable eating patterns, break bad habits or to remove yourself from dysfunctional partnerships or stressful situations. Its energies favor any magickal effort requiring decrease or removal.
 
To seal spells performed during the waning Moon, use this chant or one of your own choosing:
 
Oh Aging One of grace, now hear:
With your guidance, this spell steer.
Remove all blocks and hesitation,
And take it to its destination.

Waxing Moon Chant

Waxing Moon

 
This phase occurs when the Moon grows from dark to full. In this phase, the Moon provides the proper energy for magickal efforts requiring growth or enhancement. It is a good time for beginnings, fresh starts and new love and is of benefit in building, businesses, friendships, partnerships, and financial prosperity. The waxing phase also provides suitable conditions for planting herbs, developing psychism, and increasing physical health and well-being.
 
To seal spells performed during the waxing Moon, use this chant or one of your own choosing:
 
Oh, Maiden Moon, now hear my plea:
Hearken, hearken unto me!
As you grow, my spell enhance–
And power its magick with Your dance.

Dark Moon Chant

Dark Moon Chant 

 
Some practitioners use this phase as a period of rest. They find it useful for regeneration, relaxation, and gathering for the creative phase of the waxing Moon.
 
Others prefer to use it for meditation, psychic power enhancement, or for delving into past life memories to help them better understand current difficulties. Dark Moon energy also lends itself to divination and maters where truth is an issue.
 
To seal spells performed during the dark Moon, use this chant or one of your own choosing:
 
I call on You, Oh Crone so wise–
One Who rules the darkest skies.
Come and be my treasured Guest,
And aid me on this magickal quest.

Seax Wiccan-Psalm

Seax-Wiccan Psalm

by Raymond Buckland

Ever as I pass through the ways do I feel the presence of the Gods. I know that in aught I do they are  with. They abide in me and I in them, forever.

No evil shall be entertained, for purity is the dweller within me and about me. For good do I strive and for good do I live.

Love unto alll things.

So be it forever

Evocation of the Witch

Evocation Of The Witch

Invocation: Calling upon the presence or power of deities or positive energy.

Evocation: To call positive energy up from within yourself.

Evocation of the Witch

I am one with the universe.

I am no-thing and I am everything,

I am the stars and the moon

the seas and the storms

the breath of life

the alchemical change

the living and the dead.

I am!

I am the power and the joy.

I am the spirit that dances.

I am the magick and the priest

the Witch and the sorceress

the angels and the elements

omnipotent

omnipresent

I am!

I am the past, the present, and the future

I am the void

and I am the manifestation of my desire.

I am!
